Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for the site-specific preparation of hGRF-PEG conjugates containing one or more than one PEG units (per hGRF) covalently bound to Lys 12 and/or Lys 21 and/or N ⁇ , characterized in that the conjugation reaction between the hGRF peptide and activated PEG is carried out in solution and the desired hGRF-PEG conjugate is purified by chromatographic methods.
  • the conjugates prepared by this method are also an object of the present invention.
  • GEF growth hormone releasing factor
  • GRF also called Somatorelin
  • GRF is a peptide secreted by the hypothalamus which acts on its receptor and can promote the release of growth hormone (GH) from the anterior pituitary. It exists as 44-, 40-, or 37-amino acid peptide; the 44-amino acids form may be converted physiologically into shorter forms. All three forms are reported to be active, the activity residing mainly in the first 29 amino acid residues.
  • a synthetic peptide corresponding to the 1-29 amino acid sequence of human GRF [hGRF(1-29)], also called Sermorelin, has been prepared by recombinant DNA technology as described in European Patent EP 105 759.
  • Sermorelin has been used in the form of acetate for the diagnosis and treatment of growth hormone deficiency.
  • GRF has indeed a therapeutic value for the treatment of certain growth-hormone related disorders.
  • the use of GRF to stimulate the release of GH is a physiological method in promoting long bone growth or protein anabolism.
  • GRF GRF-IV
  • DPP-IV dipeptidylpeptidase IV
  • Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a hydrophilic, biocompatible and non-toxic polymer of general formula H(OCH 2 CH 2 ) n OH, wherein n ⁇ 4. Its molecular weight could vary from 200 to 20,000 daltons.
  • PEG in its mono-methoxylated form to proteins and/or peptides significantly increases their duration of biological action.
  • PEG provides a protective coating and increases the size of the molecule, thus reducing its metabolic degradation and its renal clearance rate.
  • PEG conjugation is an already established methodology for peptide and protein delivery pioneered by the fundamental studies of Davis and Abuchowski (Abuchowski et al., 1977a and 1977b). PEG conjugation to peptides or proteins generally resulted in non-specific chemical attachment of PEG to more than one amino acid residue.
  • One of the key issues with this technology is therefore finding appropriate chemical methods to covalently conjugate PEG molecule(s) to specific amino acid residues.
  • the trichlorotriazine-activated PEG which was found to be toxic and reacted in a non-specific way, was later on replaced by various PEG reagents with chemical linkers that could react specifically to amino groups (Benchamp et al., 1983; Veronese et al., 1985; Zalipsky et al., 1983; Zalipski et al., 1990; and Delgado et al., 1990), to sulphydryl groups (Sartore et al., 1991; and Morpurgo et al., 1996) or to guanidino residues (Pande et al., 1980).
  • the active site could be protected in advance, thus allowing enzyme pegylation to occur at non-active site(s) (Caliceti et al., 1993).
  • the present invention relates to site-specific pegylation of hGRF in solution phase.
  • hGRF was found to have a low solubility in a neutral/alkaline buffer solution, a chemical condition whereby most efficient pegylation reaction occurs.
  • a diluted hGRF solution the hydrolysis of the activated PEG (such as the PEG ester) tends to decrease the yield of the pegylation reaction.
  • N ⁇ through out the present invention means the amino group at the N-terminal position of the peptide (Tyr).
  • the main embodiment of the present invention is a method for the site-specific preparation of different hGRF-PEG conjugates containing one or more than one PEG units (per hGRF) covalently bound to Lys 12 and/or Lys 21 and/or N ⁇ , characterized in that the pegylation reaction is carried out in solution and the desired hGRF-PEG conjugate is purified, for example, by chromatographic methods.
  • a hGRF-PEG conjugate containing one or more PEG units (per mole of GRF) covalently bound to Lys 12 and/or Lys 21 and/or N ⁇ is also covered by the present invention.
  • the pegylation reaction will give directly the desired conjugate with specific pegylation sites, which can then be isolated from the reaction mixture, for example, by ultrafiltration or other chromatographic methods.
  • the preparation method can further, optionally, comprise a de-protection reaction.
  • the de-protection reaction is preferably carried out according to known methods and depending on the chemical protective group to be removed.
  • hGRF unless otherwise specified, is intended to cover any human GRF peptides, with particular reference to the 1-44, 1-40, 1-29 peptides and the corresponding amides thereof (containing an amide group at the N-terminus or C-terminus).
  • the preferred hGRF peptide is hGRF(1-29)-NH 2 .

  • activated PEG is an acylating agent, it preferably contains either a norleucine or ornithine residue bound to the PEG moiety via an amide linkage. These residues allow a precise determination of the linked PEG units per mole of peptide (see for example Sartore et al., 1991).
  • Chromatographic methods means any technique that is used to separate the components of a mixture by their application on a support (stationary phase) through which a solvent (mobile phase) flows.
  • the separation principles of the chromatography are based on the different physical nature of stationary and mobile phase.
  • chromatographic methods include: liquid, high pressure liquid, ion exchange, absorption, affinity, partition, hydrophobic, reversed phase, gel filtration, ultrafiltration or thin-layer chromatography.
  • the molar ratio PEG:hGRF can be 1:1, 2:1 or 3:1, depending on which conjugate is sought at high yields.
  • the solvent of the pegylation reaction is selected from the group consisting of a highly concentrated nicotinamide aqueous solution, a buffered aqueous solution of a defolding agent (such as urea) or a polar organic solvent selected among dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethyl formamide/buffer or acetonitrile/buffer.
  • a defolding agent such as urea

Alloc is the preferred protective group for the lysine group.
  • Alloc can be removed according to one of the methods described in Greene T.W. et al., 1991). Dde can be removed with 2% hydrazine in DMF (see W.C. Chan et al., 1995). Adpoc can be removed similarly to Alloc (see also Dick F. et al., 1997). 2-Cl-Z can be requires a stronger acid deprotection (HF, TFMSA, HBr) or hydrogenation (see also Tam et al., 1987).

  • a standard mixture used for peptides containing Arginine and/or Methionine for 0.1-1.5 g peptide-resin, 10 ml Trifluoroacetic Acid, 0.5 ml D.I. Water, 0.5 ml Thioanisole, 0.5 ml Ethanedithiol (87% Trifluoroacetic Acid, 4.3% D.I. Water, 4.3% Thioanisole, 4.3% Ethanedithiol)
  • peptide-resin 100 mg - 1 g of peptide-resin is placed into a 20 ml glass vessel and cooled in an ice bath.
  • the cleavage cocktail is prepared and also cooled in an ice bath, then added to the peptide-resin for a final volume of approx. 10 ml.
  • the vessel is removed from the ice bath and allowed to warm to room temperature.
  • the vessel is capped and the reaction mixture stirred at room temperature for 2 hours.
  • the solution is vacuum filtered through a medium-to-course porosity filter into approx. 30 ml of cold MTBE.
  • the reaction vessel is washed with 1 ml TFA and filtered through the same filter tunnel into the cold MTBE.
  • the entire suspension is then transferred to a 50 ml centrifuge tube and centrifuged for approx. 10 minutes at 2,000 rpm at room temperature.
  • the supernatant is aspirated, the precipitate re-suspended in 40 ml cold MTBE and centrifuged again. This step is repeated once more.
  • the final supernatant is aspirated and the precipitate is purged with nitrogen to evaporate most of the remaining ether.
  • the peptide is then dissolved in 20-30 ml of aqueous 1% - 10% Acetic Acid, diluted to approx. 100-150 ml with deionized water, shell frozen, and lyophilized.
  • Lyophilized crude peptides are prepared by dissolving 50-100 mg of peptide in 200 ml of aqueous 0.1 % TFA. The peptide solution is then loaded directly onto the preparative column through the "A" buffer reservoir line and the gradient program started.
  • Purified lyophilized peptide samples are prepared by dissolving 0.2 - 1.0 mg of peptide in aqueous 0.1% TFA to a concentration of 0.5 - 1.0 mg/ml.
  • Peptide samples are prepared at 1 - 20 ⁇ mol conc. in 50% ACN/0.1% TFA.
  • 0.5 ⁇ l of matrix solution, followed by 0.5 ⁇ l of peptide sample, is applied to analysis plate wells and allowed to dry.
  • the analysis plate is loaded into the machine and the samples scanned and analyzed using a Reflector Delayed-Extraction method optimized for peptides. For each sample, a cumulative data signal from 32 - 128 laser shots is collected and analyzed. Each run includes a sample well with a standard peptide for calibration.
  • the peptide-resin was cleaved with a mixture of TFA: 1,2-ethanedithiol:thioanisole:water [10: 0.5: 0.5: 0.5 (v/v) ] for 2 hrs, and the peptide isolated by precipitation in MTBE to give 240 mg of crude peptide. Purification by preparative reverse-phase HPLC with a Vydac C18 column (22 x 250 mm) resulted in 60 mg of purified product (>95% by analytical HPLC). MALDI-TOF mass spec: Calculated: 3523.8, Observed: 3524.2.
  • N ⁇ -isopropyl group was added by reductive alkylation of the peptide-resin using sodium cyanoborohydride and the corresponding ketone (acetone) as described by Hocart, et al., 1987. 880 mg peptide-resin (approx. 70 ⁇ mols) was swelled in 5 ml DCM for 30 mins, then 10 mmol (174 ⁇ l) acetone in 7 ml MeOH/ 1% HOAc added and the mixture swirled intermittently for 2 hrs at ambient temperature.
  • hGRF derivatives prepared as described in Example 8 were conjugated with activated PEG as described in Examples 1 and 6.
